Concerning Wind-Mills.

Wind-mills are q very ancient IN

value in country where fuel is cheap.
from the extreme irregularity of the
wind upon which they depend. 1t is
hoped that remedy for this defect
has been found by the Due de Feltre.
in the Transformation of the surplus
energy of windy weather by causing it
to drive dynamo, thus converting it
into electricity, with which he charges
batteries of storage cells. These in
turn can be utilized to drive the ma
chinery in time of calm. Any such
plan is, of course. attended by very
large waste of power, but when the
original quantity is SO enormous as it
is in a gale of wind waste is matter
of very little moment Before the
world is many generations older more
attention will be given to the question
of yoking the great forces of nature to
our machinery, and utilize the enormous
energy of the winds, waves. tides, not
to mention water power and the direct
radiation from the sun. Our store Of
available coal will doubtless last for
many a long day to come. but we
ought not to forget that we are a race
of spendthrifts. living on our capital.
and that we must not miss any oppor-
tunity of economizing the limited re-
sources of our estate.-London NeUs.
